[Ryan Thompson · Rating 3 out of 5]

You can jump around to learn some good stuff about cricket, but those good things are buried under repetitive and a lot of fluff. There are whole pages devoted to the process to gaining memberships to cricket clubs that no one reading the book will ever join and details on the physical and mental training regimens for captains. Made the whole presentation a bit all over the place.

Fair introduction but found a lack of clarity for a cricket “dummy”. A walk-through of a match would have been helpful. Spent a lot of time on YouTube, the web looking for better explanations.
